Explores the large-scale dynamics of the mid-latitude atmosphere, covering topics such as momentum conservation, jet streams, weather fronts, and cyclones.
Covers stability concepts in structures, including examples of stable and unstable configurations, the role of diagonal bars, and the risk of buckling.
Explores different fluid flow instabilities such as Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz, discussing transient and spatial growth, dispersion relation, and shear layer instability.
Explores the energy balance in snowpacks, focusing on radiation properties, energy transfer mechanisms, and factors affecting terrestrial energy exchange.
Explores the evaporation process of a water pond near the sea on a summer day, covering heat and mass transfer laws, convective heat transfer, and practical exercises.
